How do you find the x intercepts of 3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3)

Set the whole expression = to 0 and solve for x.

3x^(5/3) - 4x^(7/3) = 0.  Factor out x^(5/3):     x^(5/3) [3 - 4x^(2/3)] = 0

Then either x^(5/3) = 0, or 3 - 4x^(2/3) = 0.

In the latter case, 4x^(2/3) = 3. 

To solve this:  mult. both sides by x^(-2/3).  Then we have

4x^(2/3)x^(-2/3) = 3x^(-2/3),            or 4 = 3x^(-2/3).  It'd be easier to work with this if we rewrote it as

4           3
---  = --------------------
1            x^(+2/3)

Then 

4
---  = x^(-2/3).  Then, x^(2/3) = (3/4), and x = (3/4)^(3/2).  According to my     3                      calculator, that comes out to x = 0.65 (approx.)

Check this result!  subst. 0.65 for x in the given equation.  Is the equation then true?

My method here was a bit roundabout, and longer than it should have been.  Can you think of a more elegant (and shorter) solution?

To the risk of sounding redundant, as Altavistard already pointed out above

\bf 3x^{\frac{5}{3}}-4x^{\frac{7}{3}}=0\implies \stackrel{common~factor}{x^{\frac{5}{3}}}(3-4x^{\frac{2}{3}})=0\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
x^{\frac{5}{3}}=0\implies \boxed{x=0}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
3-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}=0\implies 3=4x^{\frac{2}{3}}\implies (3)^3=\left(4x^{\frac{2}{3}}\right)^3
\\\\\\
27=64x^2\implies \cfrac{27}{64}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{27}{64}}=x\implies \boxed{\cfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4\sqrt{4}}=x}
\\\\\\
0.64951905283832898507\approx x

Debbie has $460 in a savings account that earns 8% annually. If the interest is not compounded, how much interest will she earn
Viktor [21]
Compound interest means that the interest earned each year is added to the principal meaning that future interest is earned from the original amount + past interest.

In this case, it is NOT compounded meaning that we just have to find how much interested is earned in a year and multiply it by 5 years.

8% of $460 is 460*0.08 = 36.8

36.8*5 = 184

The answer is C) $184.00

if you are examining a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotnuse,how will you determine the measure of the
Alexus [3.1K]

We will apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the measure of the unknown leg in a triangle when one leg and the hypotenuse are provided dimensions.

<h3>What is the definition of a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometric function.

According to Pythagoras, the sum of the squares of two sides equals the square of the longest side.

\rm h^2 = p^2+ b^2

Where,

h is the hypotenuse

p is the perpendicular

b is the base

If any of the two is given the third side will be obtained using the  Pythagoras theorem.

In a triangle with given measurements for one leg and the hypotenuse, we will determine the measure of the unknown leg by the Pythagoras theorem.

Hence we willl apply the pythogorous theorem for finding the unknown side.

Jamie has 1/10 yard of blue felt and 5/6 yard yard of green felt.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Jamie has 11/15 yards of Green Felt more than Blue Felt

Step-by-step explanation:

Green felt- Blue felt

= 5/6- 1/10

= 25/30- 3/30  ( taking LCM)

= 25 - 3/30

=22/30

=11/15 yards

LCM= 2*3*5= 30

Factors of 6= 2*3

Factors of 10= 2*5
